Home Designer Pro 2022 graphics requirements.

[kippow]

I purchased the Home Designer Pro 2022 upgrade from Home Designer Architectural 2021.

 

When I tried to run it I got a message that I will have no 3D functionality.

 

I have DirectX12 so it must be the shader model 6.0 requirement that is the problem.

 

I have Intel® HD Graphics 4400.

 

My PC is a tiny HP ProDesk 600 G1 DM so I don't expect the graphics card can be replaced...

 

AM I SIMPLY OUT OF LUCK AS FAR AS RUNNING Home Designer Pro 2022?

Questions like this are best directed to Chief Architect. Ask about Pro 2021 instead of 2022.

I agree with Eric to the degree that you should just call Chief Architect Sales or Tech Support to ask direct questions about hardware and their software products. All you will obtain from Chief Talk are opinions and I believe what you really need are facts, not opinions.

The OP can find information about his graphics capability here (choose specific processor).

From the "Illustrated Parts & Service Map" on the HP website (Chrome reports as "unsafe" but it seems ok) there is no internal PCIe slot to install a graphics card, so you're fixed with the integrated graphics.
